In a structure for the mounting of a control lever 1, particularly a lever intended for the manual control of the gear-change of an automobile vehicle, of the type which is fixed via a universal ball joint system 2 on a support 5, 6 which in turn is fixed by means of bolts (13, Fig 2) to the frame of the vehicle, the structure includes upper and lower elastic bellows 10, 11 which connect the lever to the two faces of the support, enveloping the joint and impeding the penetration of dust and impurities into the joint and into the passenger compartment. The elastic parts constituting the bellows have extensions 17, 18 which envelope the edge of the support in at least those regions occupied by the orifices provided in the support for the passage of the fixing bolts, and also match the orifices and cover their edges. The extensions are capable of being compressed when the bolts are fully tightened, being interposed between the bolts and the corresponding orifices in the support and between the latter and the frame, and impeding the transmission of vibrations between the elements of the structure. <IMAGE>
